This collection belongs to renowned Chinese American photographer Richard Yee known to many in Hong Kong for the nostalgic portraits of the city. Born in 1936 in Taishan, Guangdong province, Yee developed a keen interest in his camera at age twelve. With the endorsement and encouragement of Guangzhou-based photographer Wu Chin Li, Yee soon began his career in photography. Yee moved to the United States in 1951 and settled in Boston. Throughout his career, Yee received numerous awards and professional recognitions, including first prize in the Boston Globe Annual Photo competition and the all-U.S. Photo competition and second place in the World Photography Salon in 1968. Yee held solo exhibitions in many prestigious institutions, such as the Peabody Museum (Salem) and Addison Gallery in the 1980s, and in the past decade, the National Art Museum of China in Beijing in 2016 and the Memorial Hall of Lingnan School of Painting in 2021. The magnificent Huang Junbi painting in the collection was dedicated to him by the artist.
